After considering our activities with persons with disabilities in the North West and South West Regions of
Cameroon and the theme for the celebrations of this year’s international day of persons with disabilities “Empowering Persons with Disabilities and Ensuring Inclusiveness and
Equality”, we decided to celebrate this event with a difference. Announcements were passed in churches requesting free registration of articles produced by persons with disabilities to showcase their
talents. This exercise saw the registration of over 40 participants both children
and adults registering with farm products like maize, beans, cabbage and some bamboo works like bamboo chairs, bee hives and basket.

A REPORT ON THE
DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICATIONS

TO EPILEPTIC
PATIENTS IN THREE HEALTH

CENTERS IN BAFUT
25/08/2018

Phenobarbital 100mg is one of the tablets taken by epileptic patients on daily basis for sustenance. Based on doctors recommendations some patients are
recommended to take two in the morning and two in the evening while others are only given one tablet daily. Today the Agape Unity Program provided and opportunity for over 35 epileptic patients in
three health centers in the Bafut Sub division to receive medications that can carry over for three months. We conceived this activity this time around to ensure that these patients who depend on
daily medications can be able to have their treatment throughout the three months of uncertainty within the crisis in the North West Region and the pre and post-elections
period.

The visit to Ajua by the
Agape Unity team of two coordinators and two Rev. Sisters and the Driver had as its main objective to assist the persons with disabilities with basic needs in difficult times. Adjua and its
neighboring quarters of Njimiya and Mundum constitute one of the border villages of Bafut Sub Division. It is this distance over hills and valleys that Sr. Judith and her team covered to share the
love of the Agape Unity program with disabled persons and their families.

The journey to
Benakum in the Menchum Valley Sub Division to sensitize and carryout needs assessment for persons with disabilities especially the young ones was a long and tedious one. It took a team of three Sr.
Divine, Pastor Alfred and Verdzekov Divine over five hours on rough roads amidst tension pose by the crisis in the two English regions of Cameroon and the tribal war between the Isimbi and the Gemba
people to reach the destination – Benakuma.

After
accompanying the Agape Unity Program team to sensitize the leaders of Disable persons associations from Donga Mantung at the Ndu council on the 10thof April 2018, a visit that also saw Sr. Ruth addressing the Christian Women Fellowship of
the Presbyterian Church in Ndu, the sensitization and need assessment continue in Nkum Sub Division on the 11thand 12thof April
2018. The purpose of this second visit in Nkum was to meet with some officials, continue to identify new cases and to conclude on the needs of previously identified to be
assisted.

A REPPORT ON THE MEETING WITH LEADERS OF ASSOCIATIONS OF PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES

IN NDU - 10th APRIL 2018

Even though the activities for the enhancement of living conditions for persons with disabilities had started earlier with the coordinator for Donga
Mantung, it was still necessary for group leaders to come together and be enlightened by Sr. Judith and the team from Bafut on the objectives and importance of the activities of the Emmanuel Sisters
and Agape Unity Program. It is for this reason that this meeting was scheduled to hold from the 09thto the 10thof April 2018 at Ndu.
